Use and characterisation of new acoustic treatments and tools

Budapest (Hungary), 16-18 December 2019

DENORMS Action’s 5^th Training School “Use and characterisation of new acoustic treatments and tools” was held from 16^th to 18^th December 2019 in Budapest (Hungary), organised by Óbuda University.

This Training school was aimed at the industrial partners and Early Career Investigators. The training was offered in both theoretical and experimental aspects of developing new sound absorbing and sound controlling structures.

During the first day, the refresher training courses were organised covering the basic theory of sound interaction with porous materials and metamaterials. During the following two days lectures and practical sessions familiarised the audience with the new methods used in design of conventional and metamaterial based noise reducing treatments.

DENORMS Action Final event

Coimbra (PRT) – 18th-21st February 2020

The COST funding for four years of networking activities came to an end. To celebrate the networking achievements of the these four years, the DENORMS Action Final event took place from 18th to 21st Feb. 2020 in Coimbra (Portugal) and was the occasion of promoting the Action’s breakthroughs.

Three specific activities were developed:

• Scientific presentations from selected STSM (Short Term Scientific Mission) awarded researchers and internationally recognized researchers.
• Presentation and dissemination of the four Round Robin Tests achieved within the Action.
• Three popularization talks on acoustics / building acoustics / acoustic materials as appetizers before the exhibition “Acoustics and beyond” vernissage at the University of Coimbra’s Museum of Science.

A complete social program accompanied the scientific exchange and dissemination program with daily proposed events.

Full definitive printable program is available here.

Second edition of the « Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials » (SAM)

The second edition of the « Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials” (SAM) took place from 9th to 11th October 2019 in Ischia (Italy) and was organised by YRAM (Young Researchers in Acoustic Metamaterials), COST Action DENORMS CA 15125 and the University of Salerno.

This second Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials was targeted to PhD candidates, Early Career Investigators (i.e. researcher whose career spun less than 8 years since the date of the PhD) and aimed at sharing new advances and breakthroughs as well as fostering the community of young researchers in the field of acoustic metamaterials. The second SAM was organised around 6 different sessions comprising 20 min talks and plenary lectures.
